to grasp and retain what is afterwards pre-
scented to it as it goes upward through the
different departments until 1t reaches the
highest rung in the ladder OF our local edu-
cational system, the high school. Vi all
the departments in our school system, the
teachers of none are more deserving than
those in the primary. Their duties are
more arduous, they necessarily are COM
PEELED to be more pains-taklng, they must
supply what the text books do not furnish,
their oral instruction must be suited TO the
capacity of each individual member in the
class, and their salary, many maintain,
should be commensurate with their labors,
should be equal 10 that OF any other grade
up to at least the second in the grammar
school.
Just as the twig is bent,
The tree S inclined,
Is an old and true saying, and the success
of the entire system necessarily depends
upon the thoroughness of the instruction
in the primary grades.
The City Superintendents report on
Monday last shows an enrolment in the
primary department of 2,052 pupils. The
primary department consists of the fifth,
sixth, seventh and eighth grades. The
supervising Principal is Miss Harriet Nc
Cormack, and the scholars are instructed
by fifty lady teachers. No department of
our public school system is more COM
petently presided over, or is deserving OF
more praise than the primary. Exercises
in this department were held in the vari-
GUS schools yesterday.
